I hope this beautiful day finds you well! In church on Sunday, we talked a bit about a season of reflection on stewardship (the care of our whole lives). Please plan to stick around the next three Sundays after church for some great conversations about being good stewards of all the pieces of our lives.

How we spend our time is a great indicator of our values, and we'd love to know more about what YOU value. Please respond to the survey here to help our leadership intern, LaClaire Atkins, get a picture of how the people of St. Alban's invest their time. (Thank you!)

May you know God's loving presence, and the company of the saints, in your journey this week.
